This wonderful gent is now my go to for any Lock issues. He fixed out front door in our old flat about 2 or so years ago and more recently when we moved, sorted a lock and key issue. A few weeks later, I’m stuck at the front door and it won’t budge though the lock is off. I called him and within 20 mins he was here and got me in - this time a gear box problem but he explained everything and was amazing about it. He even made sure I was safely locked in before he left. A true gent and 100% recommended!

From their own website
What this business says about itself
Online since 2014. Their website domain was first registered in 2014, according to the public domain registry — an independent sign of how long they’ve been operating online (we checked this ourselves, it’s not a claim from their site).
- Good to know: No call-out fee
These are statements the business makes on its own website — worth confirming in writing (and on the official registers) before you hire, not independently verified by us.

Locksmithing isn't government-regulated in the UK, so anyone can trade as one. The Master Locksmiths Association vets, inspects and background-checks its members - a useful extra assurance for this trade.
Find an MLA-approved locksmithGet the call-out fee AND the total price agreed in writing before they set off — emergency locksmith overcharging is a common complaint.
Be wary of anyone who insists on drilling the lock straight away: most locks can be picked open, and drilling then selling a replacement is a known upsell.
Look for a locksmith approved by the Master Locksmiths Association — the MLA vets and inspects its members, and locksmithing is otherwise unregulated.
